Just got in from picking (my T shirt must have weighed 10 pounds by the time I finished watering and picking everything in the yard....brutal out there!). I figure if it is OK now (Thurs PM), it will be reasonably OK at worst by Saturday (there is always the seed saving only option!). Most of this should be fine.

Indeterminate/non-dwarf project varieties (there always could be a few more between now and then - but this is pretty accurate, I think). I've got some from old seed saved in different years we can compare - this is kind of a "purity/stability" check!

37 varieties:

Mexico Midget
Rose Quartz Multiflora
Coyote
Red Robin
Stump of the World
Surprise (1997)
Cherokee Chocolate 96-9
Lucky Cross 02-62
Henderson Bicolor (purple fruited)
Brandywine 01-11
Martino's Roma
Russian Queen
Brandywine 95-71
Pink Berkeley Tie Dye
Not Indian Stripe
Cherokee Purple 01-3
Cherokee Chocolate 05-55
Lucky Cross 02-59
Yellow Prue
Ozark Cherry
Yellow Bell
Lucky Cross 02-55
Reinhart's Yellow heart
Isis
Garden Peach
Cherokee Purple Heart
Bisignano #2
Dr Carolyn Pink
Cherokee Chocolate 96-3
Mullens Mortgage Lifter
Dr Wyche's Yellow
Mystery White Cherry
Lime Green Salad
Surprise (1998)
Andrew Rahart Jumbo Red
Halladay's Mortgage Lifter
Cherokee Chocolate 01-19

A few things to watch for in the tasting: how the various generations of Cherokee Chocolate, Cherokee Purple, Brandywine and Lucky Cross taste compared to each other, and other samples people may bring.

For the Dwarfs - gathering impressions of those that we have in catalogs, those that soon will be, and those in progress - and the unusual color of Uluru Ochre!
